Time Bicycles: Carbon Fiber Weaving and Resin Transfer Molding

This video could've done with some sound (and less distracting editing), but it provides an interesting look at how a carbon-fiber bicycle comes together. France's Time Bicycles uses a manufacturing process called Resin Transfer Molding, which involves drawing the resin into the fibers at the mold, and claims to be "the only cycling designer that has perfectly mastered this fabrication process." The way the video is shot admittedly renders parts of the production quite dull, but at least check out the trippy machines in the beginning that weave the carbon strands together:

Enrico Marone Cinzano on the making of his massive Armadillo Credenza

When the Armadillo Credenza first landed in our inboxes, quite frankly we didn't know what to do with it.

From liquor store to lumberyard to laboratory

When the wine shop across the street from me packed up to move, I saw a new dumpster out front and a huge stack of empty wooden wine cases inside the store. Doing the math, I asked the owner if I could scavenge some of the boxes before they went

And what better way to demonstrate it than by printing up a Rube Goldberg machine?

Formlabs are continuing to create new resins for their Form 1 3D printer. Last year they rolled out their Functional Resins in "Flexible" and "Castable" flavors, and this year they're adding "Tough Resin" to the line-up. So what makes this one different? Tough is durable, adaptive, and impact-resistant. Perfect for
